"The five were also banned from causing harassment, alarm or distress to anyone in England and Wales for the same period."
I have to ask it...or what? What happens when they move and start the bad behavior again?

What are the penalties for breaching the terms of an anti-social behaviour order? | ||
Breaching the terms of an anti-social behaviour order ( ASBO ), without reasonable excuse, is a criminal offence and criminal procedures and criminal penalties apply. Breach of an interim ASBO, a county court ASBO or an anti-social behaviour order on conviction is also a criminal offence and attracts the same penalties. |

Together - tackling anti-social behaviour Government announces new guidance on publicising ASBOs (March 2005) |
||
A clear 'yob warning' was sent out by Home Secretary Charles Clarke today, making it clear that anti-social behaviour has serious consequences. Publishing new guidance encouraging councils to use publicity to help enforce anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs), Mr Clarke made it clear that offenders can expect to have personal details publicised to protect the community. A separate shorter flyer is also available for the general public. New ASBO figures also published today show rapid take-up of the power, increasing by 20 per cent to nearly 4,000 since they were first introduced in 1999. The Home Secretary also emphasised that ASBOs have teeth; with a prison term the ultimate sanction for breach of an ASBO. View Guidance on Publicising ASBOs issued March 2005 (word368k) |
